# Invoices: send crypto payment requests to customers

> Create and send crypto invoices directly from the CoinVoyage Dashboard. Customers pay via a link; you receive settlement in your preferred currency.

CoinVoyage invoices let you generate crypto payment requests directly from the dashboard and deliver them to customers by email. Your customer receives a link to pay in their preferred cryptocurrency, and you receive settlement in the asset and chain you have configured — no custom integration code required.

## Before you start

You need to configure your **organization profile** in the dashboard before you can create invoices. The organization profile supplies the sender details shown on the invoice and payment email your customer receives.

<Info>
  Set up your organization profile under **Organization Settings** before creating your first invoice.

## Creating an invoice

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Invoices section">
    Navigate to the Invoices section in your [CoinVoyage Dashboard](https://dashboard.coinvoyage.io/) and click **Create Invoice**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the invoice details">
    Fill in the required fields:

    * **Amount** — The payment amount you are requesting.
    * **Currency** — The currency denomination for the invoice amount.
    * **Customer details** — The recipient's name and email address.
    * **Description** — A description of the goods or services being invoiced.
    * **Due date** — Optionally set a date by which payment is expected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invoice">
    Review the invoice and click **Send**. CoinVoyage emails the invoice to your customer with a payment link included.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How the customer pays

Your customer receives an email containing the invoice details and a payment link. When they click the link, they are taken to a CoinVoyage-hosted payment page where they can complete the transaction using any supported cryptocurrency.

The payment experience is the same widget your customers may already know from your checkout — they connect their wallet, select the token they want to pay with, and confirm the transaction on-chain.

## How you receive settlement

Once your customer completes the payment, CoinVoyage settles the funds to you in your preferred currency and chain, as configured in your [Settlement settings](/v2/dashboard/settlement). You do not need to handle conversion or routing manually.

<Tip>
  Make sure you have at least one settlement currency configured before sending invoices so payments route correctly to your wallet.
